![]() ![]() Jie You really has a flare to her especially when she continuously challenges both the king of Han as well as Wu Sun who can’t do much to harm her because she’s usually right. They also meet a traveling merchant, Feng Liao, who accompanies then and likes to tease Huai Tian Sha. Throughout their journey, they end up falling in love which is taboo because she is to marry his brother and become one of the “mothers” of Wu Sun. On her way to Wu Sun, she happens to meet up with Weng Gui. Jie You’s street performance troupe friend, A Cai, follows Jie You as her personal servant. Huai Tian Sha is ordered to be her escort as well as her bodyguard forever. Jie You is in despair about the idea of leaving her free lifestyle but isn’t really left with a choice with the king’s orders. Long story short, the King of Han finds interest in her and makes her He Qing princess, who is to be married off to the king of Wu Sun, Jun Xu (Yuan Wen Kang), who is Weng Gui’s older brother. It’s really funny to watch how she sarcastically and charmingly gets herself out of bad situations. However because Jie You is clever, she outsmarts the set ups that her cousin throws at her. Her cousin, who’s a princess hates Jie You out of jealousy and spite and tries numerous times to defame her. Over there, she meets Huai Tian Sha, a high ranked soldier. When Jie You arrives at the Han Kingdom, she discovers that she is related to the royal family and that her parents gave her up when she was a baby due to some troubles they had. They coincidentally meet each other numerous times in the vast Gobi (?) desert and eventually build up friendship and trust. ![]() Along one of their journeys, she meets Weng Gui (Yuan Hong), a prince from Wu Sun, but thinks he’s some kind of criminal and fugitive. Jie You grew up as an orphan with a group of street performers and travels around with them to perform and make money. Her voice is really low and thick, which is a nice breath of air. She doesn’t have the high, light voice that most female lead characters in classic dramas have either. Nothing about her is delicate and she has a very brave and free spirit. She’s also extremely clever and knows when people are trying to screw her over, which allows her to poke fun at them to their dismay. She’s just really unique, quirky, and cute but still really strong. Out of all the classic Chinese dramas I’ve seen, I think Jie You (Zhang Xin Yi) is probably my favorite female lead. The summary on DramaWiki is also TOTALLY off, so I advise people to ignore it. There was never a very clear synopsis or summary for this drama before I watched it, so I sort of went in blind. ![]()
